Gearing up for a late season black bear hunt. I'll be using my 280 Rem. I already have a great load with 140 accubonds, but I'm thinking of going to 150 partitions for black bear..But then I think, "these are Southern black bears where they rarely exceed 300 lbs and after seeing how hard and fast the 140 accubonds slammed down 3 deer this year, do I really need to go to a 150 grain Partition"? It's getting pretty close and don't have a lot of time to work up a load for the 150 gr Partition, so am I really just splitting hairs here and the 140 accubonds will be more than sufficient for these bears? I keep going back and forth and need to make a decision now. I tend to over think everything..
Thanks for any input.
